William Lister "was commissioned colonel, AMS, on 10 December 1914 and went to France as consulting ophthalmic surgeon to the British Expeditionary Force. There during four years… of war he planned the ophthalmic services of the Army, and his ability and determination carried his plans to success. He devised the allocation of "roving ophthalmic consultants" among the army hospitals, and was also responsible for the distribution of equipment. With the help of J H Sutcliffe, MRCS, at Clifford's Inn he organized the supply and replacement of spectacles for the troops from "spectacle centres" in France. But his most successful achievement was the segregation and treatment of the large corps of Chinese labourers, affected with trachoma, which he carried through with the help of John Francis Cunningham. For his war service Lister was created CMG 1916 and promoted to KCMG 1919. In that year he was appointed surgeon oculist to the Royal Household, a position he held till 1936, and was rewarded with a KCVO in 1934. He was also consulting ophthalmic surgeon to Queen Alexandra's Military Hospital, Millbank, through the war and till 1929. He gave an account in 1918 of his "War experience of gunshot and mustard-gas injuries of the eyes" in a Hunterian lecture at the College, and contributed the account of "Mustard-gas burns of the eye" to the Official Medical History of the War. He had been responsible for coping successfully with this new form of war injury, when it first befell the British Army." Royal College of Surgeons of England Sir Gordon Morgan Holmes (1876-1965) was an Anglo-Irish neurologist. He is best known for carrying out pioneering research into the cerebellum and the visual cortex.
